Hours in consultation

At Mediant, we believe that good mental healthcare begins with passionate people. With over 1,300 colleagues, we offer specialist mental healthcare in Twente and work every day on recovery, self-management, and appropriate care for our clients.

Our culture is open, down-to-earth, and involved. Lines of communication are short, we know each other, and we drop by each other's offices easily. We help one another, think along, and search together for how things can be improved. In this way, we create a working environment in which you can develop yourself and in which we continue to build the healthcare of tomorrow together.

That collaboration does not stop at our own organization. We work intensively with partners in the region because we believe that together we can achieve more for our clients.

Together with a mental health nurse practitioner, you are the medical point of contact for our elderly clients. The focus of your activities lies on the closed ward for elderly people with dementia and behavioral problems. Together with the mental health nurse practitioner, a GZ-psychologist, the nursing team, and where possible the client and their loved ones, you assess, investigate, and implement policy. You look broadly at both somatics and psychiatry and help colleagues to interpret situations quickly.

You carry out consultations, perform somatic examinations, monitor medication use, and identify risks such as polypharmacy. You are part of the multidisciplinary team and ensure that everyone knows where they stand.

You have regular contact with family or loved ones, discuss expectations, and involve them in choices. For clients staying longer, you also guide the chronic course and are involved in palliative trajectories when appropriate.

In addition, you contribute ideas to improving our processes. Not through long policy documents, but by looking together at how daily work can be made simpler and clearer. New colleagues or physician assistants can count on explanations and support from you.

In addition, you are involved in the following tasks:

• Consulting with practitioners and nurses and providing clear medical direction in the MDO.
• Advising and supporting colleagues with somatic questions and acute situations.
• Guiding clients with chronic conditions and being involved in palliative care when necessary.
• Collaborating with psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, general practitioners, care psychologists, and nurses within multidisciplinary teams.
• Improving care and work processes through practical improvements in daily practice.
• You also participate in Mediant's crisis service.
